Mention of those kits reminds me, I haven't seen a kit yet that has the good RTC3511 hub seal.
Trevor at Rovahfarm has good quality Corteco hub seals. Looks like he has a decent price on the Timken hub bearing also.
I'd get a couple FTC3179 lock washers.

There are several threads around here about replacing hub bearings.

Jake, we do not know where he lives yet, 100 bucks may not be enouh, especially if you drive your Discovery.

Is anybody going to tell him to get the wrench adapter to get the nuts off with?

And if the calipers are bad, you might as well be ready with them or you will be in there twice.

I made a thread about it, I think it's stickied and includes cheapest parts that don't sacrifice quality. "Replacing front rotors w/ wheel bearings"

X2 on the hub nut socket. Get one that takes a 3/4" or 1/2" drive ratchet so you can use a torque wrench and do it properly. The torque specs and procedure is in the RAVE.

Oh ANC check rock auto for the wheel bearings. You need 4 total for the front of the rover (2 each wheel)
